An indirect object is really a prepositional phrase in which the
preposition to or for is not stated but understood. It tells to
whom or for whom something is done. The indirect object always comes
between the verb and the direct object. Example: She gave me a gift. The indirect
object always modifies the verb. It may have modifiers and be compound. It
is used with verbs such as give, tell, send, get, buy, show, build, do, make,
save, and read. Example: She sent the man and me a
gift.
